Pickled Paper Designs: cardmaking and papercrafting by Amy Sheffer

The Papertrey Ink team is back today to show you a preview of the new stamp set and dies called Hello Sunshine! Here is the inspiration...

"Wrapped up" three sets of these mini cards on the weekend...love the cute box? I got it from a tutorial on PTI. You can find it here: http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/countdown_little_lady/index.html

Here's my card for this months Create Along With Us with PTI. I chose this card from Nichole where she created her own background I pulled out an oldie but a goodie, Green Thumb, to create my background on Fine Linen cardstock. I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto a strip of Hawaiian Shores colored cardstock in place of Nichole's framed sentiment. While I had this set out I made a couple other spring themed cards. There's nothing like a pair of pink polka-dotted Wellies to bring a smile to your face! I'll be adding one of these cards to the following challenges: CASology ~ Open Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes Classy Cards 'n Such ~ Bright and cheerful! City Crafters ~ Butterfly Thanks for stopping by! Blessings~ Birgit

I love pink Christmas cards - or any of the unconventional colors. This is for my SIL who loves everything pink and glitzy. Used my favorite winter EF (Darice Snowflake Scroll Corner), and two dies: FS/Snowflake Flurries and PTI/One Liners. The two tiny pink flakes are from MS/Snowflake border punch. I covered the sentiment, every flake and all the embossed area with glitter glue.

Here's my card for the February Christmas Card Challenge - winter sports - to show a fun outside activity - obviously - my card shows sledding! The sledding child die is from a set called In the Meadow by PTI - the pine tree stamped in the background is from the stamp set of the same name. My sentiment is from Believe by PTI I embossed the blue panel with Square Lattice by SU after stamping the tree with Ranger Distressed Iced Spruce Ink. I sponged the edges with Weathered wood. I tore a white panel for the snowy hillside adding Crystal Ice Stickles to the edge. The sledder is popped up on foam tape. I'm making 4 cards for each challenge - you'll see my post showing all 4 cards next to this one! This is also for the Central theme challenge - Baby it's Cold outside!

This week we're to use an ornament (s) on our Christmas cards  on the Merry Monday Christmas challenge blog. and since I adored Melissa's video on Nichole's blog,  I decided to combine the two for another Window Screen Card. Pretty much her layout, and layering! The deer is cut from American Crafts Pow Gold DP., The background (love Melissa shared technique!) stamped in gold with fir from Peaceful Pincones. PTI: Stamper's Select Cardstock, aqua mist damask dp, vellum PTI: Peaceful Pinecones stamp and die sets, In the Meadow sentiment, Fancy Flakes die Memory Box deer, Lil Inkers Oval and Rectangular dies,  Spellbinders Nestibilities Heirloom Ornaments Stampendous EB Powder Encore Metallic Gold Ink All the ornaments 'hung' on the antlers are double embossed, first in gold then frosted with  Shabby Blue and Shabby Pink. I added a bit of glitter to the frame and pinecone. Make It Monday #150: Window Screen Cards Merry Monday #93 {Ornaments}

Hello! I am definitely in the baby card making mode lately. Looking forward to our first grandchild being born in August! It's a girl!  So here's a card I made out of the new PTI Onesie die. It's so easy to make the cards with this die! I just cut the whole die out of the patterned paper (lime twist collection from My Mind's Eye), the took an A2 card base in pink (PTI) and lined the top fold up with the little punched holes on the die (that way the fold doesn't get cut). Then you just line the two together, putting the patterned paper on the front of course. Since they are both cut from the same die, they line up perfectly. :) I embellished the front with little scallops cut using scalloped decorative scissors. Just lay white paper behind card and trace outline of legs, arms, neck, cutting on this line. Then use decorative scissors to cut scallops. I used glue and a pair of tweezers to attach them (little tiny pieces). I just love the results and hope you do too!

Hi everyone!  I have some quick and easy cards to share today using the PTI's Color Couture, Volume 10 and 12. My first 2 cards were inspired by this week's CAS102 challenge -to use the sketch by cindybstampin's card. These are all pretty simple -I seriously made all 4 in about 3 hours, which TRUST me is fast for me!! These next 2 cards use an old layout I used from the last time I made some Color Couture cards (yeah, if it ain't broke, don't fix it I say!!).  Both of these cards use Verve's new Classy Label Die from the new A Cut Above die line.  The second card uses a tiny cupcake from the set, Birthday Bash. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! Card Deets:Stamps - Birthday basics (PTI), birthday bash (for cupcake) (Verve Stamps) Ink - Black Cardstock - white Accessories - Color Couture kit, pearls and rhinestones, buttons, baker's twine, stickles, copic markers, Classy Label Die, liquid applique For those of you interested, I have listed this set of cards in my Etsy Store, CardsbyMichelle.
